Equilibrium Bird Species Diversity in Atlantic Islands [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Half a century ago, MacArthur and Wilson proposed that the number of species on islands tends toward a dynamic equilibrium diversity around which species richness fluctuates [1]. The current prevailing view in island biogeography accepts the fundamentals of MacArthur and Wilson's theory [2] but questions whether their prediction of equilibrium can be ...

The Lepidoptera of the Atlantic Islands [PDF]
Nature, 1894 THE coleopterous fauna of the Atlantic Islands has been well worked by the late Mr. Wollaston, but as regards the Lepidoptera, the only obtainable information has been either from large books (which rarely supply complete or detailed information) or detached papers, some of them very valuable, but not always easily accessible. The Butterflies and Moths

Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai: Geographia, 2023 The Azores islands in the North Atlantic and the Tristan da Cunha islands in the South Atlantic are approximately located at the same latitude, stretching between 36 and 41 degrees North and South respectively. Nevertheless, there are important climatic
